DESIGN NO. 1 2 — An excellent example of the use of Red Cedar
Shingles for the exterior finish of a country home, farm or suburban
estate. Walls and roof are all of Red Cedar Shingles.
Architectural Staining and Upkeep
Red Cedar Shingles may be stained in a wide range of colors and tones
for architectural effect — dove grays, soft whites, light golds, moss
green, golden browns, deep browns,
walnut tones, reddish browns and
distinctive reds; all are readily applied and permanently retained by
the Red Cedar Shingle. The market is plentifully supplied with excellent ready-mixed shingle stains.
Red Cedar Shingles do not rot, rust
The Red Cedar Shingle in its natural state, unstained, "weathers" a
beautiful gray, blending with the
surrounding foliage, flowers, lawn
and sky.
Stained Red Cedar Shingles do not
require the upkeep and maintenance attention of the painted
home, they at all times retain the
beauty of the grain of the Cedar
DESIGN NO. 1 3—A semi-bungalow type, with red cedar shingles,
very popular, with liberal main and upper floor plans. The sweep and
breadth of the roof scheme adds to the striking character of this very
distinctive home.
A Good Roof Demands Good Workmanship
A roof to be as good and lasting as "Rite-Grade Inspected" Red Cedar
Shingles requires good workmanship in laying. The shingles should be
carefully nailed and stained in the most approved manner, all of which
is explained on page two of this booklet. Then you'll retain the permanent long life of the Red Cedar Shingle. It is important also that
your contractor use heavily galvanized pure iron or best quality old-
style tin valleys—they will not rust out. Remember, a roof is only
as strong as its weakest part, and the weakest part may be some
inexpensive trifle that will destroy the more costly investment. "Rite-
Grade Inspected" Red Cedar Shingles are practically imperishable—
have the workmanship and other materials in keeping.
